Alas, no...it's not possible. (I have seen a YT video showing a Mac technician changing a hard drive in a newer Mac, but don't think he changed out RAM).


The reason is that the RAM is soldered directly onto the motherboard, speeding up the Mac's performance. So unless you're a pretty experienced electronics tech familiar with Mac circuitry, RAM isn't something that can be changed.
